We bring a scorpion and a tarantula to each party, which each have a small amount of poison like a bee sting. But we bring these specific animals because they are known to be very tame and docile making them also very good with children. If we feel like a certain animal is not acting right or could be a danger to the guests they will not be involved with that presentation. If you are still worried about the scorpion or tarantula you can request that they are not shown.

Q.

What do we need to have for the presenter at our house?

A.

Our presenter will come with all he or she will need for the presentations. The only thing that we ask is that you have already planned where you want the presentation with enough room for all of the children to sit and be comfortable for an hour. Both inside and outside presentations are fine, but outside is preferred.

Q.

What do we need to bring for our party at your store?

A.

Parties here at The Reptile Zoo are hosted in either our themed Amazon or Congo Room arranged with benches and tables for your guests to enjoy. You are welcome to bring any additional decor (table cloths recommended) as well as all utensils and supplies associated with the food you provide.

Q.

Do I need to be worried about salmonella or bacteria from the reptiles in the presentation?

A.

These animals, especially tortoises, can carry these diseases although it is very uncommon. If you are sure to wash your hands after the presentation and not eat while touching the animals, as our presenter will remind you, there should not be a problem. At our Jurassic Parties and at our retail store, Prehistoric Pets, we have never had an issue with salmonella.

Q.

What is the best age to have a Jurassic Party at?

A.

Our parties are fun and educational for children of all ages including adults. Although we believe the guests will get the most out of the presentation at ages older than 5 because they are more attentive and able to pay attention for the given amount of time.

Are there any special packages I can put together to make my event special?

Q.

Are Jurassic Parties only for birthday parties? If not can I have them come to my school, business party, or special event?

A.

Jurassic Parties can turn any event into an unforgettable experience. We very commonly do presentations for schools, cub scouts, churches, daycares, company parties, fairs, expos, and other special events. Because of the nature of these presentations they require special preparation and planning so please give us a call or email so that we can plan your next special event.

Q.

What are we not allowed to bring to our In-Store parties?

A.

We do not allow piñatas and alcohol at our parties. Anything else that might be questionable please feel free to call or e-mail us.

Q.

What happens if it rains on the day of my In-Home party?

A.

The best thing to do in case of rain is to move the party to an enclosed area. Garages and covered patios work best for this. If it is necessary to move the party inside of your house and you are still worried about your carpet putting sheets or blankets on the floor work good as a covering.

Q.

Can we have our presentation at a park?

A.

Most parks are fine with having one of our presentations there especially community parks and smaller city parks. We suggest that you check with the park on their rules before booking the party so you do not lose your deposit if the park does not allow it. Finding out about the rules and regulations of the park is your responsibility so please make sure you have all of the correct information before booking. Larger regional parks usually require a proof of insurance which we will happily get for you. If the park or city requires listing as additionally insured a $50 charge will be added for paperwork and processing. Please give us enough time in advance to comply with any special requests so you do not end up with any problems with the park.

Q.

Do you have insurance?

A.

We have been licensed and insured for 20 years and carry a $1,000,000 liability policy. If you have any questions or need proof of insurance please feel free to call or e-mail us.

Q.

How many people can I have at the presentation?

A.

The optimal amount of guest at a party is between 15-20 guests. This allows enough time for each person to get involved in the hands on aspect of the presentation. We can accommodate for more or less guests as is needed. To keep the hands on feel of the presentation in a one hour presentation we suggest keeping the number of guests to 30 and below. If you are planning on having more guests than this we suggest either having a 2 hour Deluxe Party for a birthday or a Split Assembly, which includes two 1 hour presentations and 20 minute hands-on sessions, at your school.

Q.

Are tips customary or required?

A.

Most of our customers leave tips for the presenters but they are not necessary. We suggest that you give a tip as you feel the presenter deserves tips can range all of the way from a soda to $200, but the average tip is about $25.

Q.

When do I pay for my party and how?

A.

The final payment is usually taken care of at the end of your presentation. The presenter will give you a receipt to fill out and you can then choose your form of payment. For a party at your location we can take both check and cash. At Prehistoric Pets: The Reptile Zoo you can also pay by credit card. If you would like to pay by credit card for a presentation at your location the payment must be complete within 24 hours of your party start time.
